Re: Andy Pettitte last tune up game is today....

Given the state of our starting pitching, I think it would be worth bringing Andy up to the ML level to see if, in fact, he has something left.

I am honestly torn on the question of who does Andy replace - on the one hand, I like the idea of moving Hughes back into a setup role and having Andy fill his slot. On the other hand, Phil showed improvement today and deserves another start.

In either case, I think the correct roster move is to DFA Freddy Garcia.

Re: Andy Pettitte last tune up game is today....

Not worried yet, Andy has always been a very solid Yankee. Allthough if he puts up a linescore like that in the Bronx more than twice, maybe its time to retre yet again, but this time for the final time.

Re: Andy Pettitte last tune up game is today....

Hughes has had more than enough chances to prove that he's a major-league starter, and he's failed. If they move Phelps to the bullpen in deference to Hughes, they're being foolish. Phelps threw 150 innings last year, so they shouldn't have a problem with him getting 5th-starter starts for the rest of the season.
